Terence Crawford stopped Amir Khan in 2019Getty Images - GettyCrawford vs Brook: What has been said?
Amir Khan, who lost to Crawford last year, has sent a positive message of encouragement to his old rival Brook ahead of the clash.
The two Brits have been rivals for the past decade, though never settled their differences in the ring which both have caught much criticism for.
But Khan said: “I wish him nothing but the best.
“I wish Kell all the very best, go out there and put a stop to his reign. He can do that.
“I know he’s got his hands full against Terence Crawford. Kell’s a good fighter and I’ve always respected him.
“Look, as a Brit, we have to support our own fighters and we have to support each other.
“Even though we’ve not looked eye to eye for many years, end of the day, I am gonna be rooting for him.”
